About Arabinda Sporting

Kasba Uttarpara Arabinda Sporting Club is a Durga Puja committee in Kasba, South Kolkata, located around 57K K.N. Sen Road. Known simply as Arabinda Sporting, the club has been organising Durga Puja for decades — recent years marked its golden jubilee celebration of the festival, a milestone acknowledged by members and local well-wishers. Like many south Kolkata clubs, Arabinda Sporting blends sporting and cultural activity through the year with a spirited annual puja, drawing the surrounding Kasba and Uttarpara neighbourhoods. The committee installs a traditional pratima and runs the full ritual calendar, from khuti puja to visarjan, with cultural events and community bhog. The club maintains an active social and community presence where it shares khuti puja and pandal glimpses, reflecting a loyal local following. Detailed public records on the club's themes and history are limited, and no single fixed theme is widely documented. For pandal-hoppers in Kasba, Arabinda Sporting represents the grassroots, community-driven character of the area's pujas — celebrations built around neighbourhood identity, volunteer effort, and the enduring appeal of a shared autumn festival.
